From: Mukesh Rathor <mukesh.rat...@oracle.com> Which is a PV guest with auto page translation enabled and with vector callback. It is a cross between PVHVM and PV.
The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." We don't have yet a Kconfig entry setup as we do not have all the parts ready for it - so we piggyback on the PVHVM config option. This scaffolding will be removed later. Note that on ARM the concept of PVH is non-existent. As Ian put it: "an ARM guest is neither PV nor HVM nor PVHVM. It's a bit like PVH but is different also (it's further towards the H end of the spectrum than even PVH).". As such these options (PVHVM, PVH) are never enabled nor seen on ARM compilations.
